The girl was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly then answered all my questions. The room was neat, tidy and clean and I would be happy to go back for the treatment when I have the money. They do lots of other beauty treatments and it seems like a nice environment to have them in. It's also out of town so there is not normally any problem with parking as you can just find a spare space in one of the residential roads.

A lot of the problems they deal with can be quite embarassing, yet the staff make you feel right at home. They are all really approachable and understand your troubles. They deal with tattoo removals, helping acne and scarring and pigmentation problems. They also offer general beauty treatments such as lip fillers and laser hair reduction. They are alittle on the pricey side but there's no price on vanity!

I have been having my hair cut and coloured every 8 weeks for a number of years (since…read morerefurbisment). All the staff & the owner are really welcoming and it is the most enjoyable hairdressers I have ever used. Very clean and tidy. You can't help but feel at ease as soon as you enter this light and airy salon. Nothing is too much trouble. Nice music in the background to while away the time. Really good products used on my hair......shampoo, conditioner, colour, serum and hair spray. Afterwards my hair smells delicious and is left nice and shiny. Whoever you book in with really listens to how you want your hair done and the cut is accomplished very professionally. Having my hair done is a wonderful relaxing experience and afterwards I always feel like a million dollars!! Following Covid19 the owner has installed lots of see through screens in between the salon chairs, also over the chairs at the sinks. The staff all wear masks and visors and the seats are thoroughly cleaned after use. The prices vary depending on what you are having done, but overall not bad. I fully recommend this salon.

Although fairly new they've built up a good regular client pool. I work just round the corner so I can pop there in my lunch break which is great! I have to say I've only ever had a quick 'you-can't-really go-wrong' fringe trim in there but the other customers always seem pleased with the results. As usual you can opt for different experience levels with according price schemes with various discounts seasonable available - current a student offer is available.

This place is a health and beauty spa, as well as an aerobics gym, and is particularly geared towards a female audience in the fishponds area. It is a small building, but they definitely have a good variety of things to suit everyone's needs. They have toning tables to help you keep fit, and offer massages, facials, skin care, slimming products, spray tans, waxing, manicures, piercing, and the list goes on... pop along or check out their website for a full list of what's available. Their prices are also very reasonable, and would be cheaper than anywhere in the city centre making it worth popping along to Fishponds. If you are after an aerobics gym that's women only, instead of being surrounded by men, then its also a great option as they have classes and gym equipment on the upper floor that you can have access to. I'd recommend the place and it's actually a great find, give it a go!

I had my nose pierced here in May. Was advised to come back 4 weeks later to get the bar changed to…read morea smaller one once it had healed, which I did (with a very frosty reception). The bar was put in and was too long, which I advised of at the time. I was told that it was absolutely fine. When sitting flush against the outside of my nose (where it should be) it touched the inside of my nose, and it's natural position is sticking out of my nose by a few centimetres, which looks ridiculous. It has also caused two separate infections, with a lot of puss and blood coming out of the piercing). I have tried to get a resolution from the manager with no luck whatsoever, I recommend avoiding this place of you want a decent job done with your piercing (as you'd expect from a professional service).

For £15 you can get blasted with a hose full of brown dye and be on your way within half an hour. One of the women there asks me how my job interview went every time I go there and I don't have the heart to tell her that she's probably mistaken me for another girl. Still, she maintains eye contact when I'm in the nude and has probably seen me naked more than anyone else has in the last few months. All the girls at Bodywise are sweet, friendly and easy to chat to when you're having your treatments. They will also do their best to accomodate you if you're in dire need of a tan/wax/tint. As if you needed any more convincing, at some point last September my best friend burst in with yeti legs and and an unruly bikini line and swears blind she had the quickest and least painful waxing of her life.

I emailed the salon asking for a refund, and was told that they could only offer to redo the service. I appreciated the gesture but at that point, I didn't have time to go in and get it all redone before I left. I explained this to Julia, the salon owner and even sent her pictures of my nails so she could see the clearly substandard job. Had it been any other day I would've been happy to get them redone, but as I explained to Julia several times I was leaving for my wedding abroad in less than 48 hours and simply couldn't accommodate another appointment in my schedule. Julia repeatedly ignored this and continued to ask for my availability to get them redone. I eventually decided to move some other appointments and called the salon Friday morning to reschedule, but there was no availability at the westbury location. The lady I spoke with very tersely told me that I should've taken the appointment she offered yesterday at 1 PM (I wasn't available then, and had already spent two hours at the salon that morning) she then told me that if I had been so dissatisfied with my service then I should've refused to pay. This might have been a good solution if they hadn't taken 2/3 of the payment up front when I booked! I did eventually agree to go in to have the nails redone on the Friday, but as there was no availability in my local salon I had to go to an even further one away. Despite Julia's insistence that fixing my nails "would only take 45 minutes" I was there for nearly two hours. In fairness, the ladies at the Clifton salon were able to fix my nails; but requiring your clients to carve more time out of their own schedules so that the technicians can have another shot at a proper service is just not adequate. Will not be returning here: rude employees, terrible service and utterly incompetent nail technicians.

This foot treatment was gentler than the one I'd had previously, but still left me feeling like I was walking on air. Definitely recommended.
